This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The reorganization (the “Reorganization”) will consist of the transfer by the Target Fund of all of its assets to the Acquiring Fund, in exchange solely for Class N voting shares of beneficial interest in the Acquiring Fund (the “Acquiring Fund Shares” or the “Class N Acquiring Fund Shares”) having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Class R6 shares of the Target Fund (the “Target Fund Shares” or the “Class R6 Target Fund Shares”), the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund, and the distribution of the Class N Acquiring Fund Shares to the Sole Shareholder (as defined below) of the Target Fund in complete liquidation of the Target Fund as provided herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS the Henderson Trust and the Janus Trust are each an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Janus Trust, including a majority of the Trustees of the Janus Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, has determined that it is in the best interest of the Acquiring Fund that the assets of the Target Fund be acquired by the Acquiring Fund and the liabilities of the Target Fund be assumed by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class N Acquiring Fund Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Acquiring Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Henderson Trust, including a majority of the Trustees of the Henderson Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, has determined that it is in the best interest of the Target Fund that the assets of the Target Fund be acquired by the Acquiring Fund and the liabilities of the Target Fund be assumed by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class N

Acquiring Fund Shares, pursuant to this Agreement, and that the interests of the Sole Shareholder of the Target Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;

WHEREAS, the sole shareholder of the Target Fund is HGI Group Limited (in such capacity, the “Sole Shareholder”);

WHEREAS, the Sole Shareholder has executed a unanimous written consent of shareholders whereby the Sole Shareholder has approved this Agreement and authorized and directed the Henderson Trust on behalf of the Target Fund to enter into this Agreement and effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1.PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

1.1Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, (i) the Henderson Trust shall transfer all of the Assets (as defined below) of the Target Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund, (ii) the Janus Trust shall cause the Acquiring Fund to deliver to the Henderson Trust full and fractional (rounded to the fourth decimal place) Class N Acquiring Fund Shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the aggregate net assets of the Class R6 Target Fund Shares, as of the close of regular session trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Valuation Time”) on the Closing Date, as set forth in paragraph 2.1 (the “Closing Date”) and (iii) the Janus Trust shall cause the Acquiring Fund to assume all Liabilities (as defined below) of the Target Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for in paragraph 2.1 (the “Closing”). The aggregate number of shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued and delivered to the Target Fund shall be determined as set forth in paragraph 2.7.

1.2The assets of the Target Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities, interest in futures and other financial instruments, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued and including, without limitation, any interest in pending or future legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries), dividends, interest or other receivables that are owned by the Target Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Assets”).

1.3To the extent consistent with the Target Fund’s investment objective and policies, the Target Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations prior to the Valuation Time. The Acquiring Fund will assume all of the liabilities, expenses, costs, charges, debts, obligations, duties and reserves of the Target Fund of any kind, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, known or unknown, or otherwise in existence on the Closing Date; provided, however, the Acquiring Fund shall not assume (i) any obligation arising from the termination of the agreements set forth in Schedule 4.2(iv) or (ii) any obligations of the Target Fund under this Agreement, including indemnification obligations (collectively the “Liabilities”).

1.4The Target Fund will distribute in liquidation of the Target Fund to the Sole Shareholder the Class N Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Henderson Trust pursuant to paragraph 1.1. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished by the transfer of the Class N Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Target Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to an open account on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the name of the Sole Shareholder. All issued and outstanding shares of the Target Fund will simultaneously

be canceled on the books of the Target Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing the Class N Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. Ownership of Class N Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Janus Trust’s transfer agent. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Henderson Trust shall take all steps necessary to effect a complete liquidation of the Target Fund in accordance with its governing instruments and applicable law, and the Target Fund shall not conduct any business after the Closing Date, except as contemplated herein.

1.6To the extent consistent with the Target Fund’s investment objective and policies, the Target Fund agrees to use reasonable best efforts to dispose of certain assets prior to the Closing as requested by the Acquiring Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the combined portfolio following the Closing meets the investment objective, policies and restrictions of the Acquiring Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall permit or require the Target Fund to dispose of any investments or securities if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Trustees of the Henderson Trust or the investment adviser to the Target Fund, such disposition would adversely affect the status of the Reorganization as a “reorganization” as such term is used in Section 368(a) of the Code or would adversely affect the Target Fund’s status as a “regulated investment company” under the Code, or would not be in the best interest of the Target Fund’s Sole Shareholder.

1.7Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of the Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Target Fund Shares on the books and records of the Target Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

1.8No sales load, contingent deferred sales charge, commission, redemption fee or other transactional fee will be charged by the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund as a result of, or in connection with, the Reorganization.

2.CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

2.1The Closing Date shall be June 2, 2017, or such other date as the parties may agree to in writing. All acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on the Closing Date shall be as of 4:00 p.m. New York Time. The Closing shall be held at the offices of JCM, 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206-4805, or at such other time and/or place, or by such other means of communication, as the parties may agree.

2.2In the event that on the Closing Date or the Valuation Time (i) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted or (ii) trading or the reporting of trading on said Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of the Janus Trust or the Henderson Trust or the authorized officers of either of such entities, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of a Acquiring Fund or a Target Fund is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until at least the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

2.3The Henderson Trust shall cause Boston Financial Data Services, transfer agent of the Target Fund, to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the name and addresse of the Sole Shareholder and the number, class, dividend reinvestment election, tax withholding status and percentage ownership of outstanding shares of the Target Fund owned by the Sole Shareholder immediately prior

to the Closing. The Janus Trust shall issue and deliver or cause Janus Services LLC, the transfer agent to the Acquiring Fund, to issue and deliver a confirmation evidencing the Class N Acquiring Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date to the Secretary of the Henderson Trust or provide evidence satisfactory to the Henderson Trust that such Class N Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the account of the Sole Shareholder on the books of the Acquiring Fund.

2.5The Target Fund shall cause its custodian to deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer identifying all of the Target Fund’s portfolio securities, investments, cash, and any other Assets as of the Valuation Time and stating that the Target Fund’s portfolio securities, investments, cash, and any other Assets shall have been delivered in proper form to constitute good delivery thereof to the Acquiring Fund’s custodian on behalf of the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date. The Acquiring Fund shall cause its custodian to deliver to the Target Fund at the Closing, a certificate of an authorized officer acknowledging that the Acquiring Fund has received the Target Fund’s portfolio securities, cash and other Assets on the Closing Date.

2.6At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sales, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

2.7The net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be delivered to the Target Fund, the value of the Assets of the Target Fund transferred hereunder and the value of the Liabilities of the Target Fund to be assumed hereunder shall, in each case, be determined as of the Valuation Time. Such valuations and determinations shall be made by the Acquiring Fund, in cooperation with the Target Fund, in accordance with the Acquiring Fund’s valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees of the Janus Trust, which shall be provided to the Target Fund prior to the Valuation Time, and shall be confirmed in writing to the Target Fund. All computations of value shall be subject to review by the Target Fund and, if requested by either the Henderson Trust or the Janus Trust, by the independent registered public accountant of the requesting party.

2.8The number of Class N Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares to the fourth decimal place) shall be determined by dividing the value of the (i) Assets of the Target Fund, net of the Liabilities of the Target Fund (each calculated as of the Valuation Time in accordance with paragraph 2.6), by (ii) the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of the Valuation Time.

2.9The net asset value per share of the Class N Acquiring Fund Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization shall be the net asset value per share of the Class R6 Target Fund Shares as of the Valuation Time, determined as set forth in paragraph 2.6 above.

2.10The Target Fund shall be the accounting and performance survivor in the Reorganization, with the result that the Acquiring Fund, as the corporate survivor in the Reorganization, shall adopt the accounting and performance history of the Target Fund.

12.DISSOLUTION OF THE HENDERSON TRUST

Each series of the Henderson Trust (i) has entered into (or will enter into) an agreement and plan of reorganization pursuant to which the assets of such series would be transferred to, and the liabilities of such series would be assumed by, a series of the Janus Trust, (ii) will be reorganized into an entity, which after giving effect to such reorganization, is not required to register as an investment company or (iii) will adopt a plan of liquidation or engage in such other transaction or transactions which results in the liquidation of such series. Upon the completion of all such transactions, the Henderson Trust will be terminated and dissolved in accordance with the Henderson Declaration of Trust, the laws of the State of Delaware and any other applicable law and shall not conduct any business except in connection with its dissolution and termination.

13.INDEMNIFICATION

13.1Each party (an “Indemnitor”) shall indemnify and hold the other and its officers, directors, trustees, agents and persons controlled by or controlling any of them (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, settlements, deficiencies, taxes, assessments, charges, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs of investigation) including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense or disposition of any claim, action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which such Indemnified Party may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such Indemnified Party may be or may have been threatened (collectively, the “Losses”) arising out of or related to any claim of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made herein by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be indemnified hereunder against any Losses arising directly from such Indemnified Party’s (i) willful misfeasance, (ii) bad faith, (iii) gross negligence or (iv) reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s position.

13.2The Indemnified Party shall use its best efforts to minimize any liabilities, damages, deficiencies, claims, judgments, assessments, costs and expenses in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. The

Indemnified Party shall give written notice to Indemnitor within the earlier of ten (10) days of receipt of written notice to the Indemnified Party or thirty (30) days from discovery by the Indemnified Party of any matters which may give rise to a claim for indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement. The failure to give such notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnity hereunder unless such failure has materially and adversely affected the rights of the Indemnitor. At any time after ten (10) days from the giving of such notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, resist, settle or otherwise compromise, or pay such claim unless it shall have received notice from the Indemnitor that the Indemnitor intends, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, to assume the defense of any such matter, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at no cost or expense to the Indemnitor, to participate in such defense. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such matter, and in any event until the Indemnitor states in writing that it will assume the defense, the Indemnitor shall pay all costs of the Indemnified Party arising out of the defense until the defense is assumed; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall consult with the Indemnitor and obtain indemnitor’s prior written consent to any payment or settlement of any such claim. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnitor apprised at all times as to the status of the defense. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.

14.HEADINGS; COUNTERPARTS; GOVERNING LAW; ASSIGNMENT; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

14.1The Article and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.2This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original.

14.3The respective representations and warranties contained in Article 3 of this Agreement shall expire with, and be terminated by, the consummation of the Reorganization, and neither the Funds, nor any of their respective officers, directors, trustees, agents or shareholders shall have any liability with respect to such representations or warranties after the Closing Date.

14.4This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; provided that, in the case of any conflict between those laws and the 1940 Act, the latter shall govern.

14.5This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but no assignment or transfer hereof or of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be made by any party without the written consent of the other party. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

14.6It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Janus Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, consultants, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Janus Trust personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Janus Trust, as provided in the Janus Declaration of Trust. The execution and delivery by such officers of the Janus Trust shall not be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Janus Trust as provided in the Janus Declaration of Trust. The Janus Trust is a series company with multiple series and has entered into this Agreement on behalf of the Acquiring Fund.

14.7No series of the Henderson Trust shall be liable for any claims against any other series of the Henderson Trust or its successors or assigns. Any liability of the Henderson Trust under this Agreement with respect to the Target Fund, or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein with respect to the Target Fund, shall be discharged only out of the assets of the Target Fund and that no other series of the Henderson Trust shall be liable with respect thereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date set forth above.
